It's also illegal in the UK, removing a sticker does not affect your consumer rights full stop.

Do you know what specific law you'd cite when they try to deny your warranty for it?

So without trawling through pages have we been given a time for when these go live for sale on the 17th? Is it midnight or some other time of day?

It doesn't look like a big deal .
You just got to change the case fan config
Chg the rear case fan to pull air in
Move one of the bottom fans up (above the card) and make it push air out
And yes, play with vsync on
Edit: you will need to look at Nvidia's marketing slides on rtx 30 cooling for context
Like a reverse air flow? Good idea1
These 3070s and 3080s aren't so big! You should see my modded gtx1070 with a back plate and heat sink from an Arctic Accelero after stock cooler but with the fans replaced with a 140mm bequiet fan 
Silent and never over 65oc. I will be selling it this year as it is (I hope).

UK Consumer Act 2015, States any goods purchased online that develops a fault within 6 months of purchase must be repaired or replaced by the retailer, after six months it is on the consumer to prove that the fault was present on the date of purchase e.g "the memory issues on the 2080Ti's could easy be proven using examples of the same product developing the fault" which would mean a card developing that known issue would have to be replaced regardless of the amount of time elapsed.
Removing a sticker regardless of what they might say does not affect your consumer rights

Bear in mind sometimes these rights can be tough to 'enforce' i once returned a nintendo wii to (a high street competitor)as it was faulty out of the box. I was told i couldnt return it as it was exempt from the 30 day no quibble guarantee
it was hard to even believe what this woman was telling me tbh, "so i can buy something from you that doesnt work and you are going to just say sorry, unlucky?" she was like "im sorry sir this item is exempt from returns under the 30 day no quibble guarantee" I was like "yeah but i dont want to return it under that i want to return it under my statutory consumer rights in the uk" ... "sir im afraid our no quibble return policy is quite clear, and this item is not included".ffs they threatened to call cops and boot me out so i went home, called consumer direct who were as baffled as me. They called the store manager on my behalf and i was asked to go back and return it and they gave me a voucher i think.
Long story short, just because you have rights, doesnt mean you can get them enforced
It also says in the small print, 30 day no quibble does not affect statuary rights, I would have stayed in the shop and argued personally.
You were in the right and she didn't know what she was talking about.
As to the original post about stickers, yes that at manufactures discretion, you tampering with goods is not what the consumer protection is there for.
Tampering is and should invalidate warranty unless the manufacturer deems otherwise , anyone wanting to do this checks first or does it at their own risk.
